Common beauty

The closer you get to our insect life the more beautiful they are. This Dragonfly - a Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum) is one of the most common dragonflies in the uk, but up close it is a wonder of intricacy.

    Wonderful photo, Michael! I haven't seen many dragonflies this year but maybe that's because I haven't looked for them that hard yet. :)
